MADISON, Ga, October Especial. Our
quiet little city was eniiyened for short time
this morning with a personal difficulty between
DIR. I. z. Gibbs, a prominent druggist, and
Mr. Edwin Browton, publisher and junior cd
itor of the Madisonian il which a few blows
were passed, and . small patch Of hair dragged
from its paternal scalp. The difficulty was
caused by discussion Of the registration law,
recently enacted by the Legislature for this
county. DR. Gibbs was active in having the
law passed as introduced originally, and Mr..
BroWton opposing the original and advocating
ad amendment, which finally obtained. The
discussion was conducted in the two papers pub
lished here the AIadisonian and the Advertiser
DIR, Gibbs, in the heat of discussion, accused
BroWton Of being personally and politically
interested in defeating the original bill, and
Browton replying to DR.. Gibbs .article in the
Advertiser was very bitter, and Browton's
reply equally so, the one provoking the other.
Suffice it to say that it resulted in a hostile
meeting of the parties this morning at the
courthouse, which resulted as above. But for
the timely interference of friends OF each, the
difficulty would have resulted more disastrous
ly to one Or both parties than it did.

NEW YORK, March I6.-About forty
members OF the Ladies' German Schut-

was little short Of riot. The members
are divided into two factions, one of
them led by Mrs. EiIsOn, President, aud
the other by Mrs. Annie Smith. The
point of division was as 30 allowing men
to become members of the society,
Mrs. HilsOn, believing that none of the
ladies were fitted for corresponding
secretary, had her faction elect her hus-
band to the position. He performed the

amined the books Ct HusOH'S request,

was the time for the holding Of the next,
regular meeting after these developments.
Before the appointed hour, Mrs Smith,
gathered her forces and went through the
election of officers. When the Hilsou
party entered the hall they found the Of
hceIs' chairs occupied. A warm struggle
cusueG for possession of the gavel, and
then the two factions engaged in hsnd
and hair pulling match. For season the
CIR was full Of lamentations and yells.
Mrs. Smith had provided herself
with cst-O'-nine- tails, and laid
It around in the ivtIes5 fashion, while |
the gavel was used with good effect by !
some one else. A number of men at !

While de.vIDg for information on the
subject OF the city s health I ascertained
what believe is not generally known in
New OEleans-,hat leprosy exists here TO
4 remarkable extent. 1t has been known
Ia vague sort of way that there were
some cases Of the dreaded disease in the
lower parishes, bat not that il prevailed
to any extent in New Orleans. There are
now under treatment II the Charity
hospital 20 less than eighteen
cGsrS. What IS more remarkable, and
should be Of absorbing interest to
people here, i the fact. l an informed O.
aut1UIi.y, that the IuckIess victims Of the
disease do not know with what they are
afflicted, and are going about their usual
vacations. One OF these, 8 woman, is 8
cock! lam told the nature Of their dis
ease is concealed so as to spare them the
isolation that would be forced upon them
should it become known. Perhaps the
distinguished medical gentlemen at the
hospital know best what is proper IL the
premises, but the unprecedented observer
would say, far better these unfortunates
be stunned and forced into isolation than
that they spread the malady by contact
and by bearing children, which they art
now in danger Of doing innocently,
